I bout a 82 Buick Estate, and almost got arrested

Yes I do, it's mounted inside the tool box at the front of my tilt bed trailer. If I can get close to 'em, I can pull them up on the bed. I won't tow them home with the car backwards on the trailer if it has an engine and tranny in it. I'll pull it up on the trailer, move to place slowly to unload and turn around with my truck and trailer to pull it back on front ways, then head for the house. Have a friend who tried to tow a 58 sedan delivery on a trailer backwards down the interstate. With all the weight at the back, he jackknifed it on the Interstate........coulda killed himself and others.

 

Maybe that young gal cleaning the house attracted your attention to the side yard.

 

Good deal tedy! Congrats on the new wagon!

 

Awesome Tedy!!!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

What are Mags?

It's short for Magnesium which was used for some aftermarket wheels long ago before aluminum became dominant.

 

Wheels made of magnesium also had a bad habit of catching fire.

 

I knew about magnesium 'mags', also know about it's flammability ( we all ways had a piece to scrape for wet camping fires and you can still buy a chunk in the camping section of most stores still, in Canada any way) But I never knew the "mag" relation. growing up it was just mags (Crager/keystone etc steel and alum) and moons/baby moons.

 

So why aren't modern wheels called ALUMS ?

 

cuz now they're called DUBS

 

Pics..... and no Cops today

I took a bottle of window cleaner to really see the interior and no mold. Clearly parked on concrete under the car port all these years saved it, the headliner is not even sagging.

I love the stearing wheel in this one, that's going to be a swap. I just may Electra-fy my 87's interior, I just love the upgrade interior.


I couldn't do anything about the glass reflection, the pics don't do it justice.


My 87 below, still looks just like this, just ask Joe..........







Sweet little option that will end up on mine also.


Has all 4 wheels and caps, caps are in great condition how ever the wheels themselves will need a few gallons of Coca-Cola and steel wool to make them 20 footers again if not re-chroming witch I'm sure that is what will be needed. I have zero interest in the rally wheels I bout for the 87 now, I put them up for sale, I want these on my car when they are ready.

 

How the old girl sits, last insured in 2000. ( Ran when parked!)




Piant would buff out nice, but the wood is totally shot. A exact opposite of my 87 (I F'n hate clear coat)






Getting it out of there will be a bit of fun (not!), you can see my 87 parked in the drive way in the pic bellow, instant turn out of car port with steep slope and a car that doesn't run and not expecting any brakes to work either. Flat deck driver is gona love this one!

 

Only thing I could see missing was the hood ornament. All trim etc, etc intact and in great shape. I'm not going to bring this one home but have it towed to by barn. I have 2 weeks, I haven't paid for it yet and won't until I have keys at least in hand. GAWD I hope nothing happens to screw up this deal! I'm just thrilled to get a parts car as things are so hard if not impossible to find and this one has a near perfect colour interior match.

 

I thought it was DORKS, sorry I meant DONKS
